The Best Nut-free Granola recipe with tons of clusters! This is seriously one of my favorite recipes to make and it is vegan, gluten-free and so easy to whip up.
Raise your hand if you are an absolute granola addict!?!
Literally raising my hands and feet because I am probably the most obsessed human when it comes to granola. It is one of the foods I eat every single day. I bring a bag with me everywhere where I travel. And I am always snacking on it throughout the day. Plus I love leaving mine in the fridge so it stays extra crunchy guys. Call me crazy but is such a game changer to keep it in the fridge.
There are so many ways to you eat this granola. And it is the best nut-free recipe ever. If you can’t eat nuts, you know it’s not easy to find a nut-free option out there. And this homemade one will give you enough to last a couple of weeks. Or if you are me – about a week or so. I have no control when it comes to having a jar of this on the counter. It is truly the food I just graze on all flipping day. And it tastes killer with your favorite yogurt, on top of ice cream, sprinkled on some banana bread, anything!
I cannot wait for you guys to try it – let us know what you think!

Amy Wise

This is actually incredible. My house smells like maple syrup, and it’s so crunchy! Perfect clusters of deliciousness. I added a cup of rice krispies as well (no extra liquid or anything), and used regular sugar as I didn’t have coconut sugar, and it worked out great. I broke it up when it had half cooled and put it back in the oven for another 5-7 minutes which kinda caramelised it to a dark brown and I was thrilled with the results. 12/10 do recommend!
